Taylor Now A Finalist

A few weeks ago there was some outrage amongst Badger fans regarding Jordan Taylor being left of the list of the Bob Cousy Award semi-finalists. Now Taylor is more than a semi-finalist...he's among the five to make the final cut.

The original list of ten when it was released in January left Jordan Taylor off, but just a short time later Taylor was added to the list as number eleven. Especially after his role in the comeback victory against number one Ohio State at the Kohl Center.

After becoming the plus one on the list Taylor continued his strong play. Most notably with a career high 39 points against Indiana. Not to mention retaining one of the best turnover to assist ratios in the country.

Now Taylor is one the list of five finalists that includes Jimmer Fredette (BYU), Norris Cole (Cleveleand State), Nolan Smith (Duke), and Kemba Walker (UConn).

The award is given every year to the top point guard in the country, and the award will be given out to the final winner on April 1st.
